a2sd memory problem - Galaxy 3 General

hey !
I've partitioned my sd as 256mb a2sd and my all apps are installed in that memory..but now a2sd partition is full and i cannot install any app..It says memory full( but I've 132mb left in phone's internal memory). so my question is how can i use that memory to install my apps.

wen, app2sd becomes not worthy for u, u r left with data2sd..
to enable data2sd--
1st of all delete the app2sd script..
flash any fugumod kernel..
then make a file & write in it "mmcblk0p2"..
rename the file to "fs.data2sd"
move fs.data2sd to /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod
restart..
u r done... )

And my question was how to install apps on internal memory( which is 132 mb free ).. how to use that memory ?

App2SD script is present in /system/etc/init.d. If you want to delete it, you can do it using root explorer. Mount system as rw and delete it.

that is not possible.. coz ur whole /data gettin mounted to mmcblk0p2 partition, so ur internal memory becomes useless..
***but I think that will increase ur system space... (jst a thought, correct me if I m wrong) )

Hmm. So you are saying that the whole data partition including /data/data also goes to SD with this??

Oh. You are right then. . And also we would need an SD card of high class in order for this to work smoothly.

That s ok. You can use apptosd v2. But this method described here, I don t know. Since the entire data partition is moved, you would probably need atleast a class 4 SD card.
But if you want to delete the apptosd script, delete it from /data/etc/init.d using rootexplorer. But your datas will remain in the sd-ext partition only. So don t know how you are going to recover that.

fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod for fugumod kernel
or
fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod for g3mod kernel

You cant simply format to unpartition the sdcard. Use any partition tool to unpartition first. Then format the whole sd card.

[HELP] About re-partition of sd card.

I accidentally partitioned my sd card in Cwm mode.
I almost lost 1260 mb from 8.0 GB of my sd card.
And I want to use that lost memory as partition for alternate internal memory on SD card. Please tell me how to use?
Or
Is there any way to make it as it was previous (8.0 GB)?

In Linux you can use fdisk to delete all partitions and make only one of 8GB in size. In Windows I guess you can use Disk Administration tool or whatever utility that allows you to create and edit partitions on your storage devices.

It is included in Windows. You should learn to use your operating system first, before messing with your phone.

Lol? I used Cwm and it was perfectly fine. I guess you put too much in your 2nd partition. You can't see your 2nd partition like in file explorer.
Though I still have to state that,
ALL YOUR CHEESE BELONGS TO ME!
To all thanx for your valuable comment.
Finally I partitioned my sd card and using it smoothly.

Op is asking how to remove partition.. not how to wipe/format partition.. so your answer is wrong for this question. So the correction..
You would remove it if you don't want to use the second or third(swap) partition anymore.
@ op.. use any partition managers like minitool, easus etc to remove it or as stated above windows disk management will do.. you would have to delete both partitions in sdcard and create a new partition of fat32.. search in Google.. you will find good guides..
But make a backup of sdcard first before doing it..

err.. no.
Formatting only resets data on that partition. I mean it only clears data from that partition.. it won't delete the partition. Say you have 2 partition.
If you format in phone. It will format first partition. Second partition data will be intact. And it won't be deleted either.

just use any partitioning tool to remove both partitions, then make a fat32 partition of the whole sdcard.

you should be able to use minitool to remvove any sd card partition
copy anything you want to save onto pc
open mini tool
delete all partitions on sd card
create a new partition of fat32
hit apply
you could if you wanted just merge the partitions or delete the unwanted partition then extend the other partition into unused space but the above method is quick and simple
Try formatting the sd-ext on CWM advanced tab

hey,
even if your phone is rooted, you can't simply fool the droids memory architecture just from a Third Party Application..
you need INT2EXT script with a constantly running application which watches the memory.(eg link2sd)
and for all that u first need to partion your sdcard to the device(grand2) supported partion i.e ext2/ext3/ext4.
for partioning i recommend PartionWizard windows application.
else The custom CWM is highly recommended (which unfortunately isnt available at this time)
Does int2ext work on grand2?

i guess it will work
we just have to trace its internal memory hardware location
and memory address where the /data folder exists..
then we need to create the partition modules(.ko files)eg:- Ext3.ko
then we need to create supported partition on sdcard.
and then create int2ext script which links the module and partition on sdcard which fools android.

Now my Viewsonic V350 is starting to fall in to peaces I've orderd the SM-G7102.
While awaiting the delivery I'm studying the posibilities.
On the V350 Link2SD was briliant to get around the lack of memory of the phone. I've become very fond of it.
Here's a question for the Link2SD users:
Did anyone manage to get the seccond partition working as a ext3?
Yes for me it works with ext4 format
